Maraica Industries (Co-Maker Of Philips)

You can find us over at 242 Mohendra Bhattacherjee Road in Howrah. We’ve been here in the Santraghachi area for quite a long time now. Our main thing is manufacturing, and we have a long history of making things for Philips. The workshop is usually humming with the sound of assembly lines and tools. It’s a traditional setup, the kind where everyone knows which drawer the specific spare parts are kept in. The building itself has that old Howrah charm, with thick walls and high ceilings that help keep it a little cooler during the humid summer months. We don’t have a big corporate lobby; you usually just step through the side door and you’re right in the middle of the action. There are always boxes stacked up near the entrance waiting for the next truck to pick them up. We spend a lot of time checking components and making sure everything fits together the way it’s supposed to. It’s a very hands-on environment. Sometimes we have to stay late to finish a batch, and the local tea stall stays open just for us. The neighbors know us well since we’ve been on this road for decades. It’s a tight-knit team, and most of the staff have been with us since they were young. We aren't interested in being the biggest, just in keeping the machines running and meeting our daily targets without too much fuss or complicated processes.
